PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning ("LGBTQ") teenagers are one of the populations most at risk in the United States. In New York, LGBTQ teenagers are dramatically overrepresented (40% to 50% of the population) in foster care and among homeless youth. Further, LGBTQ teenagers are extremely vulnerable to discrimination, harassment, intimidation and violence in the juvenile detention system. Accordingly, to serve such youth effectively as legal services providers, we must identify and address their specific needs. This program will give attorneys the tools to advocate successfully for LGBTQ youth who are homeless or in out-of-home placements, and will address and discuss various dimensions of the juvenile justice problem by examining, from state, city, and national perspectives, the social services infrastructures intended to assist legal services providers in pinpointing the issues facing these youth.
